UMass women mentioned here at #17 in the "other top 25".

They're off to a great start
Richmond remained No. 1 in the Women’s Other Top 25. The Spiders have been in the top spot in every iteration of the ranking, beginning in the preseason. More here:

Dream scenario: Frank gets fired immediately and Brian Steele takes over as interim. He then coaches actual scheme and strategy, and communicates effectively with his players, who are human beings and deserve better treatment than they get from Frank during games.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but it feels extremely like the refs are trying to keep Penn St in this game

UMass losing to Green Bay is one of the worst losses in the history of the program.

Remember when Frank Martin lambasted his team and called their performance embarrassing after WINNING a game Against CCSU?

Maybe that message didn't resonate. Maybe his messages never resonate. He fucking blows.

Halftime at Mohegan Sun and Providence leads Penn St 32-31. This atmosphere is electric.

Some day UMass fans, some day.

This is awesome. Mohegan Sun arena is packed with Providence fans and they're into every play. I wish UMass had a decent team and fans that cared.

Providence hoop band opens with Earth Wind and Fire and I'm immediately reminded of how bad the UMass hoop band is

Scouting report on UMass' first opponent after the Paradise Jam, Harvard:

Robert Hinton is their entire game plan. He's skilled and can make a variety of plays. He scored 34 of Harvard's 74 points in a 1-point loss to Boston University at Mohegan Sun in the BBall HoF showcase.

Let me just casually check in on the UMass women as they took on BC today to try to get to 5-0...

I love a good Star Spangled Banner, and I give credit to Mohegan Sun for playing a canned version that sounds like it was recorded in 1987 by a cut-rate Johnny Mathis

Excited for a day of hoops at Mohegan Sun with Harvard vs BU and Providence vs Penn St.

Should be fun!

Frank's substitutions and lineups continue to suck. I like Carbuccia, but you have to explain to me why he trusts him so much this early.

He played 23 minutes, 3 assists, 4 turnovers.

Parker 20 minutes, 4 assists, 0 turnovers.

The Frank Martin experience in a nutshell:

They beat CCSU by three possessions and he berates and belittles players and says they played like shit.

They lose to CoC in a game they shoot 46% FT and he praises their effort and hard work.

I'm starting to hate this guy.
November 21, 2025 at 10:39 PM
I guess the upside of losing this game is that we get to see two totally obnoxious blowhards go at each other tomorrow.

Frank Martin vs Doug Gottlieb. Exciting stuff.

UMass outshoots Charleston overall and from 3, +10 rebounds and +7 assists and loses the game because they can't shoot free MF'ing throws.

Very tired of this every year. Free throws, man. They're FREE.
November 21, 2025 at 10:28 PM
Great job getting the ball to....Wimbley, the freshman shooting 14% from 3 for the final shot. Great job.

Frank's fault. Should have loaded up on shooters for the final possession.

Refs heading to the monitor to see what the spread is.
November 21, 2025 at 10:15 PM
UMass is 5-11 at the line, and missed all of the front ends of their 1-1s this half.

The 2nd game lost at the line in only 5 games played.
Hit FTs!!!! God damn

These refs absolutely blow chunks
November 21, 2025 at 10:05 PM
For threeeee!
I hate to say it, because I love him dearly, but DHS needs to be better. Rough start to the season for him.

Shit start to the 2nd half for UMass. Figure it out, Frank.
November 21, 2025 at 9:16 PM
So what exactly was that final possession and lineup for UMass?

You can play for the final possession and he goes with Banks, Ndjigue, Carbuccia, Wimbley, and Outlaw? That's one shooter on the floor and a guy who hasn't played at all. You end up with a turnover because they don't play together
November 21, 2025 at 9:03 PM
At least the refs are having fun out there. If you have a whistle, you might as well use it right?
